Below are a couple of top WWE & AEW news stories of the day, featuring Jack Perry and Ronda Rousey.
• Chair shots to the head have become increasingly rare in wrestling, due to the known risks of brain injuries like CTE. However, during AEW’s fourth annual Blood & Guts Match on this week’s AEW Dynamite, an exception occurred.
In this match, Team AEW (Swerve Strickland, Mark Briscoe, Darby Allin, and The Acclaimed) took on The Elite (The Young Bucks, Kazuchika Okada, Jack Perry, and “Hangman” Adam Page).
During the match, Perry was handcuffed to the cage and received an unprotected chair shot to the head from Briscoe. Team AEW emerged victorious in the end.
According to the Wrestling Observer, the chair used was a “gimmicked” one, designed to be safer:
“It was one of the shaved-down chairs. I don’t know how shaved down that is, I don’t know how soft that is, but it was a gimmicked chair. But still, they waffled that dude with that chair.”

• Ronda Rousey has announced that she is expecting her second child! The former UFC & WWE Superstar, 37, shared the exciting news on Thursday, July 25, at a panel during San Diego Comic-Con.
Rousey is already a mom to her 2-year-old daughter La’akea Makalapuaokalanipō, whom she shares with her husband, former UFC fighter Travis Browne. She is also a stepmom to Browne’s two sons from a previous marriage.
In June 2023, Rousey spoke with People Magazine about her daughter La’akea and how she seems to be taking after her tough mom. “Oh, she’s definitely going to be tough. She doesn’t respond to pain so much,” Rousey mentioned, sharing an anecdote about her daughter scraping her knee without crying, just grunting it out instead. Rousey humorously added, “The world isn’t ready for this little girl.”
Rousey and Browne were married in Browne’s home state of Hawaii in August 2017 and welcomed La’akea in September 2021.
